Standing outside the door was Mrs. Chen.

The wind outside was strong, and the snow on the trees blew by the wind, and fell one after another, leaving Mrs. Chen, who did not wear a hat or bib, wearing a snow-blue cotton jacket and a pair of hairy nests on her feet, standing in the snow with a gloomy face, letting the snow foam fall on her head.

A pair of eyes were fierce and gloomy, looking at the house motionlessly, Chen Xuejiao looked at the old lady Chen through the flying snow, stabilized her center of gravity, and looked back fiercely.

Rao is like Chen Xuejiao is used to seeing Mrs. Chen's eyes, so with such a glance, the hand carrying the fruit wine couldn't help shaking, and poured the wine glass in front of Bi Tao, and the dark red fruit wine spilled on Bi Tao's skirt.

"Why are you so careless, hurry up, take a clean big towel and wipe it." Li Shi got closer, leaned out, quickly straightened the wine glass in front of Bi Tao, and took the wine jug in Chen Xuejiao's hand.

"It's okay, it's okay, I just accidentally touched Sister Xuejiao's hand." Bi Tao stood up and shook off the wine on her skirt, but fortunately, she was covered with a silk bijia outside, and she couldn't hold the wine slippery, so she didn't get wet.

Chen Xuejiao realized her state of affairs, and suddenly saw Mrs. Chen's gaze, and she couldn't help but be frightened.

"Milk is standing outside." Chen Xuejiao regained her composure, glanced at Old Lady Chen, turned her head and whispered in Li's ear.

Li Shi was holding a towel in his hand and was wiping Bi Tao's skirt, and when he heard this, his temples jumped and he couldn't help frowning.

What did she come to do?

On the day of Chen Xueru's engagement, Mrs. Chen gave Xueru no face in public. After that, there was another commotion. After that, Li gritted his teeth and gambled that there was something at home and would never let Mrs. Chen come forward again.

said that, this time the eldest daughter celebrated her fifteenth birthday. The Shangfang family went to the upper room and told the big room about it, although they didn't explicitly say that they would invite Mrs. Chen to sit down, but the meaning was also clear, if Mrs. Chen was willing to go, the big house would also invite her to the top generously.

Early in the morning, there were several noises in the room, mixed with the cries of Mrs. Chen. The wooden man on the upper room did what he wanted, and he didn't go to the upper room to see what was going on.

The carriage of the Han family sounded at the door. Old Man Chen walked out of the upper room with a gloomy face, and stood on the side of the upper room to greet the Han family with Chen Xiucai.

During the meal, no one mentioned to invite Mrs. Chen, everyone knew that she was a time bomb. I don't know when it's going to blow up. You have to make Xueru's birthday into a thin mud. Rao is like this, Li still ordered the stone to pick up a few dishes that Mrs. Chen likes to eat, fill two large bowls, put them in the food box, sandwich four steamed buns, and bring them into the upper room.

I thought she would sit in the upper room and not come out, but I didn't expect that when everyone sat down and raised chopsticks, she suddenly appeared at the door of the big room.

Li's heart was in a hurry. Quietly looking over, Mrs. Chen was standing in the snow. With a gloomy face, Lee's heart beat half a beat slower.

As Li turned his gaze outside, everyone saw Old Lady Chen.

"Milk, you're here, it's a cold day, this morning the master said that you are not in good health, thinking that you need to rest more, so I didn't bother you." Chen Xuejiao left the table and ran to the door with laughter, "Since you're here, milk, why don't you come in, it's cold outside?"

Chen Xuejiao's words were not only for Mrs. Chen, but also for the people at the table. Everyone knows what is going on with Mrs. Chen not coming to Xueru's birthday, living in a courtyard, but her health is not good, and as the head of the Chen family's inner house, she has to come out to make a point.

In front of everyone, Chen Xuejiao had to say that Mrs. Chen was not feeling well and needed to rest, which not only gave Mrs. Chen face, but also fulfilled her own face.

Mrs. Chen didn't answer Xue Jiao's words, her face was still gloomy, and her hands were exposed outside her sleeves, red from the cold.

Somehow, the gate of the Chen family was stunned and open, and many good people outside stretched out half their heads towards the Chen family from time to time, and glanced at it, and the old lady Chen was standing in the snow, making such a picture, who was doing it.

Chen Xuejiao and Li, who also left the table, glanced at each other, and Li's eyes were full of resentment.

She didn't count Xueru's face once, but she still had to make trouble on Xueru's birthday?

Anyway, this is not the time to pursue it, Mrs. Chen is a powder keg, ignited at a moment, the best way now is to lure her away, if she doesn't care about her face, Li gritted her teeth and looked at the room full of people, and then she can only blame her for being unkind.

"Mother, it's cold outside, come in quickly." Lee pretended that nothing had happened, and his words were full of concern.

Old Mrs. Chen lowered her eyelids and raised her head again, her eyes as cold as ice skates on the eaves.

"Where's the fourth daughter-in-law?" Mrs. Chen swept around the room and didn't answer Chen Xuejiao and Li's words.

Chen Xueru's birthday, except for Mrs. Chen, all came to the big room to eat and drink, and Zhang's has always been a gluttonous cat who drools when he smells meat.

Zhang's family does not sit in the north wing, the north wing room is the Han family, Qingyu, Wenying, Li family and others, accompanied by Li with Xueru in person, and there is a table of female relatives in the middle who are the daughter-in-law of the village and the female workers of the salted duck egg shop, etc., accompanied by Cai, and Zhang went to the west wing room to accompany the village women who are good friends with Li.

Chen Xuejiao and Li glanced at each other, not knowing what Old Lady Chen was famous for.

"I don't cook food, I don't burn water, I don't burn fire, I want to starve to death, I am thirsty, I can't freeze to death, blame me for not marrying a good daughter-in-law, and I don't see my mother-in-law starving and freezing in the house, but my daughter-in-law is eating meat and drinking wine, I don't connive at my mother, but I am also an elder, there is no me in the corners of my eyebrows and eyes, what am I still alive for." When Mrs. Chen saw that Zhang was not in the house, it exploded like a powder keg, and she opened her mouth to scold.

Li's mouth grinned, and he pulled out a smile for a long time, this is the mother-in-law pointing out that Sang is scolding Huai, and on the surface she is scolding Zhang, but in fact she is scolding Li.

"What is this for? If you don't have anything to say, it's nothing to run to our door and scold. My sister scolded her when she was engaged. Now that my sister is on her birthday, my grandmother scolded again, and I only knew that the fourth aunt made my grandmother angry. I didn't know and thought that the milk was deliberately targeting my sister. Chen Xuejiao's face sank, and as soon as she opened her mouth, she tore apart the purpose of Old Lady Chen.

"I'll teach my daughter-in-law a lesson, what's the matter with you little girl." Mrs. Chen's hands were frozen red, and she stood at the door with her waist crossed, looking like she was about to peel off Zhang's skin, "Where is the fourth daughter-in-law, come out for me." ”

Zhang sat in the West Wing. She was holding a chicken leg and stuffing it in her mouth to nibble when she heard her mother-in-law calling her and tore a piece of meat off. He swallowed, peeked out of the window, stared at the table full of dishes, but was reluctant to go out.

"The fourth daughter-in-law. Your mother-in-law called you. A daughter-in-law glanced at Zhang's while picking up vegetables.

"That's how my mother-in-law is. It's all because the sister-in-law didn't invite her to the table, if she did, nothing happened. Zhang pulled another piece of duck to eat, and took Mrs. Chen's scolding as inappropriate, but poured everything on Li.

"An old pious woman, who did not stay in the house, ran to the door. It's a shame that my sister-in-law is honest, if I change it. Like this group of white-eyed wolves who are not well fed, they don't hit them with a hammer. also let the other five and six sit at the table and eat the banquet. The daughter-in-law who was good friends with the Li family couldn't see it, and stabbed the Zhang family a few words without smiling, "Your sister-in-law invited you to sit at the table, why can't I stop your mouth." ”

The stinging Zhang's face was red and his ears were red, but he kept in his hands, a steamed bun in one hand, an elbow, and stuffed it with sauce in his mouth.

Seeing that Zhang's didn't come out, Mrs. Chen stood at the door of the north wing and scolded, she didn't care that Zhang's couldn't come out, her original intention was to block Xueru.

Chen Xuejiao sneered twice: "I naturally can't care about the fourth aunt, but I can always control who is yelling at my door." ”

"Your family, the entire Chen family compound is not mine?" Mrs. Chen grabbed it with both hands, as if it had exploded.

"The paperwork for the separation is still there." Chen Xuejiao did not regress at all, if she didn't suppress Mrs. Chen's arrogance, maybe something would happen, "It just so happens that Muramasa is also here, he was a witness at the time, and he drew a handprint, or let's go in and talk about it." I won't give you a detour, if you are dissatisfied with my sister's birthday, you can naturally bring it up, there is no need to scold here, today we will invite you to the table, what did you say, you said that you are not feeling well and can't get out of bed, you are now well, we are naturally happy, just now my mother asked you to do it inside, you are scolding at the exit, my mother connived is a daughter-in-law, but there is no reason to be scolded for no reason, my grandmother they are still here. ”

Chen Xuejiao simply picked up the words and said, Mrs. Chen was direct, she was more direct than Mrs. Chen, and the last sentence was simply threatening.

Mrs. Chen's heart was cold, and this dead girl actually brought out Li's family to scare her. Li's mother's family is still good, her sister-in-law is a spicy person, she can hit the door directly, Mrs. Chen gritted her teeth.

Everyone in the room stopped their chopsticks, Xue Ru's face turned red, and Mrs. Chen gave her no face in front of the Han family, this is not the first time. Xue Ru has been sitting next to Li and Zhou, Li has withdrawn and gone outside, Xue Ru lowered her head in panic, her face was full of shame and anger. Zhou naturally saw it in his eyes, stretched out his hand and gently held Xue Ru's hand, and gave her a comforting look.

Mrs. Li knew that Mrs. Chen was looking for fault again, so Xue Jiao grabbed a gun with a stick, and it was strange that Mrs. Chen could swallow this breath, but Mrs. Chen was also too crazy, and she made trouble like this again and again, is Li's mother's family dead?

Qiao Shi was the first to look at it, and was about to break his chopsticks and stand up, but was gently pressed by Mrs. Li.

"Ah, isn't my mother-in-law unwell, when did she get up, what's wrong?" Mrs. Li stood up and was about to walk outside.

The room full of people who doesn't want to separate Mrs. Chen, the Han family can't say this, Wen Ying can't say it, Qingbi can't say it, the only thing that can be said is Mrs. Li's mother-in-law.

Everyone in the house heard Mrs. Chen's scolding, and Mrs. Li also asked such a sentence, Mrs. Chen knew that her mother was pretending to be deaf and dumb, and her face was so angry that her face turned red: "I don't have such a blessing as my mother." ”

"What does that mean?" Mrs. Li pulled Xue Jiao over, and pretended to reprimand Li with a straight face, "Your mother-in-law has been standing at the door for so long, why don't you invite her to sit inside, today is Xueru's birthday, your mother-in-law is not feeling well, and she also wants to support her granddaughter as a grandmother, you say yes, mother-in-law, my daughter is good at everything, but she is too honest, others give a mallet to recognize as a needle, and she is a mother, and I want to teach her the truth, fortunately, she has a mother's family, if there is no mother's family, she loses the rules in her mother-in-law's house, and there is no one to teach." ”

Mrs. Li smiled and smiled, and when Mrs. Chen heard this, she raised her eyebrows, and she couldn't speak, turned her head, and snorted coldly.

"Aren't you in bad health? It's coming out again. Old Man Chen walked out with an embarrassed face.

"My father-in-law, I asked my mother-in-law to sit at the table, she was taboo to participate in this happy event because of her illness, and she didn't want to sit at the table, but I asked her to come, and my father-in-law also helped me persuade her." Mrs. Li smiled more and more kindly.

Old Man Chen's face sank, his head was splitting, and he was already tired of doing this when he went back.

"My mother-in-law asks you to sit at the table, and you can just sit down." Old Man Chen couldn't wait to slap his old wife, and he had to take care of his face in front of outsiders, so he endured his anger and said, "Mother-in-law, don't laugh, she is doing this for the sake of Xueru." ”

"Who's to say it isn't?" Mrs. Li and her entourage said that they went to pull Mrs. Chen's hand, but Mrs. Chen didn't give half face, turned around and snorted coldly and went to the upper room.

Chen Xuejiao stood coldly, her eyebrows upside down, her face was unhappy, and Li Shi came out with a sigh of relief.

Old Man Chen was extremely embarrassed, and Mrs. Li waved her hand, her eyes full of concern: "What's wrong with my mother-in-law, my body is not good, how can I stand this cold wind." ”

"I'll ask the stone to boil a bowl of ginger soup for my mother to go to the cold." Li Shi answered.

The mother and daughter sang and harmonized, bringing this turmoil back.

Chen Xuejiao, Li, and Mrs. Li entered the room and sat down again, and everyone continued to laugh and eat food, as if the turmoil had never happened.

After the meal, the people of Qingfeng Village served small dumplings, glutinous rice cakes and other snacks, as well as pears, tangerines and other fruits, and what was even more rare was that there was a plate of watermelon, red and red gourds, cut and folded on the plate one by one, and toothpicks were inserted on the top.

Everyone praised the thoughtfulness of the Han family while eating, and the Li family and the Zhou family had face on their faces when they heard it.

After eating the fruit, the men from Qingfeng Village came to collect the dishes, and the women who attended the birthday banquet in the same village sat down slightly, and then took their leave and went home. Only the Han family, Wen Ying, Li family, Qingyu and others were left in the room, and everyone sat around the cool bed covered with thick cotton blankets to drink tea and chat.

"Xueru, you take Bi Tao and Xue Jiao out for a walk." Li Shi looked at Xue Ru with a smile. (To be continued......)
